considerable attention this season. Al
ready samples of ore, presenting favor
able indications o! value, are being

be at all surprising if a booming silver

Warrens Gulch tin district continues
to attract considerable attention, and
reports from that locality indicate steady
improvement in the character of the ore
as the work of development advances.
Unless there be something very decep-
tive in the outlook, there will be a large
number of men employed in that dis
trict during the present season.

A CONTRAST.

Nothing strikes the general reader sc
forcibly as the contrast between the re-
lations of the two great parties of the
Nation to the present political situa,
ton. The Democracy is organized and
enthusiastic. It looks forward to
sweeping victory. In the Republi-
can camp there is only gloom.
The shadows of coming disaster is APP
parent everywhere. No better commen-
tary than the present political situation
could be formulated. The Republican
party can look back on a career of vic
tory, uninterrupted for twenty-four years.
1t met defeat at the last Presidential cleo
ton. That defeat has shattered the
party organization into fragments. These
fragments will never again be united.
Brittle as glass, the Republican organiza-
tion once broken, is broken forever.
Created on the instant, it entered the
political arena full grown. Repeated
victory alone kept it intact. Once defeat
ed, it went to pieces. What a contrast
is afforded by the course of the
Democracy. Democracy was born with
the nation. 1t has grown with it.
As the nation matured so did
Democratic principles put forth their
strength. 1t was and is the party of the
people, and therefore it lived with the
people and for the people. Democratic
principles are those Of popular life, and
therefore by their nature are imperish-
able. The history of Democracy is a
living proof of this. Drawing the popular
breath, Democracy is always vigorous.
Defeated again and again by political
fraud, it has never been routed, has
never been demoralized. Imperishable
as the people themselves, Democracy
has ever recovered from the stroke of
defeat, and met its enemy at the polls
with the same firm array, the same un-
shaken determination, and the same

THE ROAD TO THE GULF.

Some weeks ago the NeW8 was enabled
to announce the fact that the papers
were being prepared for the sale of the
Denver, Texas and Gulf road, now oper-
ated between this city and Pueblo, to a
new combination, which also owns the
Fort Worth and Denver. A short spec
ial at hand from Governor Evans notes
his departure from New York, the money
for the extension OF the Denver, Texas
and Gulf to its southern terminus having
been raised and all the arrangements
made for building the line to a connec-
ton with the Fort Worth and Denver, in
the northern part of Texas.
Governor Evans is to be congratulated
upon the success of his efforts to secure
for Denver and the Territories along the
Rocky Mountains an air line to the sea,
aver which the cattle of Texas will here
after be transported quickly and cheaply
to the feeding grounds of the north.-
DenUer NelUS.
An air line communication with the
Gulf is of the greatest Importance to the
Rocky Mountain region, and the road
spoken of above will be large factor in
the development of Utah.

calm confidence of ultimate victory.
And that victory came as it was GER
tain to do. Democracy triumphed at
last with the people, and its victorious
and battle-torn standard now marks the
success of the popular cause. And Re-
publicanism at least will never again
endanger the triumph of that standard.
1t has gone down before the first disas-
ter it ever met, and is PROSTATE for all
time. From its fragments may spring
some other enemy to combat the
people. But in the future such
combat will be but incidental. With the
downfall of centralized Republicanism,
all real danger is removed from the path
of the Republic. Educated by the
dearly-bought lessons Of experience, the
people will never again be enslaved by a
political despotism. Democratic princl-
pies, and Democratic principles alone,
will henceforth rule the people, and
guide the Nations glorious destinies.

A MORNING contemporary would imply
that it is not safe for Gentle farmers to
settle among Mormon farmers, owing to
"natural antipithies." We do not see
what reasons can be offered to justify
the statement that Gentle farmers
should not settle among the Mormon ag-
riculturists. The water rights are held
by those owning the land, and if the
land is sold to Gentle surely the water
right is conveyed to the purchaser. We
say let the Eastern farmers come in
and purchase, and the chances are that
no one will interfere with their rights
and as for "serious" trouble, that is no
more liable to occur among the farmers
in Utah than in any other State or Ter
ritory.

OUR BOARD OF TRADE.

The meeting of the business men OF
Salt Lake last Saturday evening for the
purpose of organizing a Board of Trade
was a pronounced success. In spite OF
the disadvantage Of its being Saturday
evening, the business men OF the city
turned out in force and zealously fur
thered the object of the meeting.
Governor West was placed at the
head of a committee of fifteen on
permanent organization, to report at the
next meeting. This meeting will take
place on the evening of the coming Fri
day. The Board of Trade of Salt Lake
is practically organized. And it has been
organized by the business men of Salt
Lake City. Mormons and Gentiles have
united in the best interests of the city.
The prosperity and growth of the city
is the object sought. Unity and
concord will secure that object. The
meeting of last Saturday evening is the
first of a series of glorious certainties.
Consolidated and directed by the hand
of brotherly organization, the business
interests of Salt Lake will rapidly
stride to place and power. The
DEMOCRAT congratulates the citizens
of Salt Lake, all and every one, on the
good work begun and the good yet to
come. The destiny of our city depends
her citizens, and they have shown them
selves worthy of the prize fortune places
within their grasp. The future of Salt
Lake will magnifcently fulfill the promise
Of the present.

THE MINOR KEY.
BY C. M. HARGER.

Wake not, oh bard, the minor strain
With its plaintive notes like childish moan;
Too oft, too oft, has the wierd refrain
Been borne to our ears in the days now flown;
Till we dread the sound OF the singers voice,
Lest de>p pair be brought on the wave of song,
For the world is reader far to rejoice
Than cover meath the stroke of the croaker's
thong.
There is more of joy in this world of ours,
Than there is of SORROW, and pain, and grief;
There is greater wealth of budding flowers,
Than there is of ripened and garnered smear.
There is more to praise than there is to blame;
There is more of hope than of vain regret
Not all of the shafts have missed their aim;
Not all the blazing suns have set.
The autumn's face is less fair than spring;
The clearest night is more dark than day;
There are less tbat weep than there are thass1ng
lhere arc less to scott than there are to pray.
Less heors prove false than there are prove true;
More gold than dross in life we find;
Less skies are dark than of dazzling hue:
More tones are sweet than there are unkind.
So leave the strains of the minor key,
And strike the chords more sweet and clear;
Repeat the tones OF laughing glee,
Ut Naliant hope, and joyous cheer.
Add not a note TO the sombre wall
That coward Threats send up from earth,
But every lurking wrong assa1
With songs of hope and songs OF mirth.

A Series of MisfOrtuneS.

An EDglishman OF the last century,
Sir Thomas Robinson by name, was
famous for nothing but being g. great
bore. He made q great many visits,
and sometimes many public men had
avoid him. At the house of g. certain
high official where he called, the ser
wants announcement, "My master
and mistress are OUT" often had no
effect on him.
sob. we'll, he would say, 81 will just
drop in and have q chat with the chill
dren."
Sometimes he said he "would have
g. talk with the parrot" or "Pll just
take the opportunity of setting my
watch by the great clock on the stair
case"
One morning, when it was really i'm
possible to admit him, Sir Thomas
appeared bright and smiling at the
door. The servant looked down from
an upper window.
"My master and mistress are out, {"
said the servant as soon as he saw Sir
Thomas.
ssAh Well, I'll just step in and
"The children are all asleep, sir I"
"Indeed swell, Pill"
''The parrot is dead, Sir Thomas !"
"Oh, that's bad At any rate, I'll

''The clock is stopped, sir |! It's not
been going since last night"
Completely baff19d, the tiresome
gentleman was compelled to withdraw
without getting in.
